This deal makes Banks’ the first Canadian drag performer to be signed by a major agency in Canada, joining APA’s elite roster of talent which includes Arkells, Walk off the Earth, Nickelback, Mo Heart and Lights.
“I feel like a lot of the stuff I want to do, a lot of the goals I want to meet this year, it’s going to happen, I’m just in great spirits,” she said.
The APA announcement comes as Banks announces her 2022 tour dates across Ontario and California, including a show in Peterborough on June 24.
“You know when you get so excited you get nervous? That’s how I feel about coming back to Peterborough. I need to top my last performance.”
Banks performed in Peterborough in 2021 at the first ever Drive-N-Drag show.
“That show was so amazing. We did it and they said ‘ ok when this is over we’re getting you back indoors,” said Banks. “I’m so excited to come back. Even though it was raining that night it was the best, amazing, everyone was raving about it.”
